The installer "install.sh" sources "./util/utilfunc.sh" from the extracted tgz. If you look in utilfunc.sh you'll find a few ways you could circumvent the checks including:
- make sure isInstalled() function always returns true when checking for nc
- make sure $PREREQ_PACKAGES (set in getPlatformVars() found in utilfunc.sh) doesn't contain nc in the list of packages to check for

Those are perhaps two of the easier ways. You could probably dream up more if you tried.

Worked like a charm. I dropped 'nc' from PREREQ_PACKAGES in utilfunc.sh.
